| Description | Photodynamic therapy is a modern, noninvasive treatment and diagnostic method used in dermatology for non - melanoma skin cancer care. PDT is based on photodynamic reaction. It involves the activation of a photosensitizing drug by red light to produce reactive oxygen species within target cells, resulting in their destruction. Recurrence rates are typically equivalent to other non-invasive (imiquimod, ingenol mebutate) and invasive (cryotherapy) therapies. |
